Each session is an invitation to dive into great literature, swap fresh perspectives, and discover your next favourite read alongside fellow book enthusiasts.

Upcoming Event: 

November 2026: American Hagwon | Thinkers & Drinkers Book Club


Sign up here!

From the New York Times bestselling author of Pachinko comes a sweeping, deeply intimate masterwork of family, sacrifice, and ambition. American Hagwon follows the Koh family across continents - from Seoul to Sydney to Southern California - as they rebuild their lives in the wake of financial crisis and betrayal. As parents adapt to a strange new land, their children navigate the overwhelming pressure to succeed, driven by the belief that education is the ultimate key to security.

📅 When: Tuesday 24 November | 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM

📍 Where: Bookazine Landmark

🍿 Prep: Read the book! Don't worry if you haven't quite finished, but we don't shy away from spoilers!

Special Perk: Enjoy 15% off your copy of American Hagwon using the code BOOKCLUB (online only)!

We'll discuss questions like:

  • Parental Sacrifice & Ambition: How do parents in the novel define success for their children, and how do the children internalise or reject those definitions?
  • The Pursuit of Education: Education is often viewed as both a pathway to freedom and an intense burden. How does the novel critique or celebrate the sacrifices families make for educational achievement?
  • The American Dream across Generations: Compare John and Helen’s definition of success with that of their children (Bo, DH, and Mido). Does success mean the same thing to each generation?

Why you should join:

  • Engaging Conversation: Unpack key themes of diaspora, class mobility, parental expectation, and identity.
  • Community: Connect with fellow readers in a welcoming, friendly atmosphere.


Past Events:

October 2026: East of Eden - Page vs. Screen

With the release of Netflix's seven-part limited series, it felt like the perfect time to revisit East of Eden!

We had a fantastic discussion exploring the character of Cathy - both on the page and on screen - as well as the core themes of free will, evil, and inherited sin.
